Addition

-
We're thinking of adding to our family. A four-legged addition that is, not another child. We went to visit the puppies yesterday, to see which one we would like. From the 11 squiggly noisy little bodies, we think this one that S is holding will be the one.
So I'll be heading to the library soon for books on puppies and training, along with local research on training, accessories, crates, food, etc. So we're welcome to any advice you might have on puppies and labs in particular (Brother T this would be you !)
We won't be bringing her (the dog, not the daughter) home anytime soon, so I've got a chance to get my information and get the kids in the mindset. Now what to do about the awaiting dog at home.

    I'm doing my best to convince The Man that we need to get an Alaskan Klee Kai doggy when we get a house. Check them out! There are three breeders in Oregon. And this comes from the girl who is terrified of dogs.

    Labs rock! No matter what Sonia says...

    Sasha Doodle should be just fine, as long as you still love on her plenty. ;) (Wait... she is staying, right?!?)

Success!

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Life is full of Surprises

So here's one picture from my birthday that I *forgot* to put on that post last month. Surprise! I have had mixed feelings about this for some time. But after my first doctor's appointment this week, I am much more positive about this big change in our lives. We finally told our other 4 what was going on. Now they understand, maybe, a little bit more why Mom is always on the couch sleeping. And they are super excited. I don't think they remember what is was like 4 years ago when the youngest was born and made SO much noise... Of course, she still makes a lot of noise, just a different kind.

People Watching

I love people watching. It can be so fun. So enlightening. So ... interesting. Do you ever make up stories about people you see? Or is this just a quirk of mine? My brain has to have something to think about while I drive! So each day I go to pick up The Boy from school, I pass all kinds of people. Today I saw the Postman who looks kind of like Hulk Hogan. Long blonde hair, mustache, buff arms. I think he is actually H.H. living here in our town, posing as a mailman to get away from the paparazzi. And then there's The Runner. This guy is either punching the air while he runs - shirtless most of the time- or rockin on his iTunes. Either way he usually looks like he's high on something. I wonder what he is training for. Today I saw a new intriguing sight. I passed by a man, running down the street with a Macy's bag in his arm. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, and tan Carhartt's; looked like he just gotten off work; he was running towards the work-truck, the kind with...
